Woman gives birth outside Primark store in Birmingham
A YOUNG WOMAN gave birth to a baby daughter in front of stunned shoppers outside a UK branch of Primark yesterday afternoon.
The woman was walking down a busy Birmingham street at around 2pm when she went into labour outside the store.
According to ITV News, Primark staff held up sheets to give the woman privacy from passers-by – but that didn’t deter crowds building up as she delivered the baby on the footpath.

A doctor in the area helped her give birth, to cheers from the onlookers.
One told the Birmingham Mail that people were recording the birth on their phones:
West Midlands Ambulance Service, who arrived on the scene to take mother and baby to hospital, tweeted that the baby is a girl and she’s doing just fine:
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
We hope she calls her Penney. Just because.
